can't find sodium.h on Ubuntu (not in vagrant)

[alltom]

I tried installing Inbox on terminal.com, but the setup script failed. Here's a snapshot (which includes scroll-back, so you can see the script output): https://www.terminal.com/tiny/V6yKVSNCVM

What I did was:

1. Go to Terminal.com and launch an Ubuntu 14 instance
2. Install git, then clone the inbox repo.
3. sudo ./setup.sh (you're root, but the script looks for $SUDO_USER

The python bin/create-db step fails trying to build something that requires sodium.h.

AFAIK, Terminal.com isn't one of your supported hosts, but since commits like 69685d6 claim to deal with this issue, I thought you might like to know.

@dlitz do you know about this?

This seems to be a manifestation of pyca/pynacl#79

On a recent Debian-based system, a workaround is to install the libsodium-dev package if it's available. If not, you can build and install libsodium manually.

I'll update setup.sh to do this automatically in the vagrant VM.

@alltom I didn't test this with Terminal.com, but I believe that my latest change to setup.sh should fix this. The issue was closed automatically, but feel free to reopen this issue if it doesn't solve the problem.

Cheers!
